Distance Threshold Settings

[Crunchbits]

Description

Issue

When using marking/turbo mode, you can either trigger a menu item by what I'm calling the 'minimum threshold' or you can trigger it by overshooting by what I'm calling the 'maximum threshold'.

The two advantages to the current behavior that I see is:

1. It allows users to launch items that are in submenus without being super accurate
2. It is really fun.

The two disadvantages to the current behavior that I see is:

1. If you want to trigger a submenu/item that is in the same angle as the parent submenu, you can't move your mouse in a straight line without first needing to first briefly stop. This may be even more undesirable because, I'd say, that these nested submenu/item would ideally be the easiest to access since it's just a straight line.
2. It disincentivizes developing a better muscle memory because the threshold/tolerance is so high.

Implementation

1. Add either a menu behavior setting to disable the 'maximum threshold' or have a slider for granular control.
2. Additionally, if possible add the same thing but for the 'minimum threshold'. The way this threshold currently works is a little more complex because when using marking/turbo mode items seem to have close to 0px minimum threshold to activate but submenus require much more(if you want to keep holding the key). If added the implentation is debatable, but I suppose having a separate minimum threshold setting for items and for submenus would make most sense. I would say if this setting was ever implemented it's not super high in importance compared to the 'maximum threshold'.
